Stock fenders get hungry when you don't have a lift

Is that a 33" tire?

Pop came by to check out Nancys truck then he treated me to breakfast at our local mom and pop.
Went out for a few parts then started wiring.
Put the instrument panel together.
Original gauges were pretty hacked up so went new.
Made a little adapter for the speedo out of stainless so that it fits the chrome.
Gonna put it together this way but not fully happy with it.
Maybe some future changes.

I think it's one of those deals where I've been looking at it to much picking it apart.
I'll probably like it tomorrow.

I sure liked it this morning.

What's more important, Nancy likes it!!!

Very nicely done, too. Sounds just like a mildly-built Y-block should, with glass packs as a nice finishing touch!
